Happy Tuesday! In between insults we'll occasionally discuss cigars.  Join in and perhaps learn something along the way. Warning: don't proceed if you have thin skin but don't be afraid to post either... And welcome aboard!

Howdy, DaveDave. It's been a long day already. One car is back in the shop, so I had to drop the boys at their respective schools (they both missed their buses) and then the wife at work.

When I turned the car off to get gas, it wouldn't turn back on easily because the battery in my key fob is dead.

Matter of fact, it's the only time I can remember having to actually wait in a line since 2008.

Go to one of those bulb and battery stores.  They charge about half of what a dealership does.

Today is Tuesday, Nov. 5, the 310th day of 2024.
There are 56 days left in the year. Today is Election Day in the United States.



Today in history: On Nov. 5, 1872, suffragist Susan B. Anthony defied the law by casting a vote in the presidential election; she was later arrested and charged with “knowingly voting without having a lawful right to vote.” Found guilty at trial, she was fined $100, which she refused to pay.



Also on this date:


In 1605, the “Gunpowder Plot” failed as Guy Fawkes was seized before he could blow up the English Parliament.

In 1912, Democrat Woodrow Wilson was elected president, defeating Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt, incumbent Republican William Howard Taft and Socialist Eugene V. Debs.

In 1930, novelist Sinclair Lewis became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term in office as he defeated Republican challenger Wendell L. Willkie.

In 1968, Republican Richard M. Nixon won the presidency, defeating Democratic Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and American Independent Party candidate George C. Wallace.

In 1994, George Foreman became the oldest heavyweight boxing champion at age 45, knocking out Michael Moorer in the 10th round of their title bout.

In 1996, President Bill Clinton won a second term in the White House, defeating Republican candidate Bob Dole.

In 2006, Saddam Hussein was convicted and sentenced by the Iraqi High Tribunal to hang for crimes against humanity.

In 2009, a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas left 13 people dead; Maj. Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was later convicted of murder and sentenced to death. He has not yet been executed.

In 2017, a gunman armed with an assault rifle opened fire in a small South Texas church, killing more than two dozen people; the shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, was later found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

In 2021, a crush of fans during a performance by rapper Travis Scott at a Houston music festival left 10 dead, as people were squeezed so tightly they couldn’t breathe.

We have the wife's car at the dealership today as well. A couple of recalls that I've put off doing, so no charge, thankfully.

Something weird is going on. I used the fob successfully this morning to take my son to school. Now, even with a new battery, it still isn't working. The keys weren't dropped or anything.

I have a ton of those batteries and changed it myself. Except it's still not working.

I took the old battery and put it into something else and it works fine. This is frustrating.
